During the last month of BR steam working, Black 5 no 45110 of Lostock Hall shed (now preserved on the Severn Valley Railway) stands in the Courtaulds sidings near Ribbleton waiting to return to Preston. The locomotive had brought in a trainload of coal to the factory which, at that time, with its cooling towers, was a landmark alongside the M6 motorway near Preston, but has since been demolished.
